Off-Set
On March 14, at 7PM, as part of the Armed and Dangerous project, there will be special screenings of works by artists Anna Scherbina and Valentina Petrova as part of the video-series exhibition Armed and Dangerous.
In the new series, the sisters of the Sisterhood of St. Mary of Egypt are armed and dangerous, fighting for unequal rights and painting their nails. In a world full of hardships, temptations and distortions, they have to stand up to a duel with deviant marginals, or to lose painfully, filling up a colony of human garbage. Will these beautiful and brave women be able to save traditional family values from the threats of the outside world? Everything will become clear after watching the new series of Armed and Dangerous.
